As I mentioned before, she's vastly overrated. But NASCAR (and especially Tony Stewart) is making tons of money promoting her "star power".
Danica is the Kim Kardashian of NASCAR.
But.....the girl CAN drive a road course, as she showed us all last year. That was a HUGE surprise to me.
As for the rest of her racing career, there's a reason Rahal-Letterman got rid of her all those years ago. She was always the focus of the Indy 500, she brought in advertisers and viewers, but after a couple years, her luster began to fade, so they they dumped her. Rahal knew she didn't have what it took to be a champion.
She'll continue to sell products and promote NASCAR, or Indy, or whatever she does. She's a star, but she's not a star for her racing talent.
